Thank you for all your responses, and thank you George for the reminding me of that earlier thread. I read the whole thread more carefully this time.
So I pulled out a short torx head wrench and felt much more in control relying on my fingers to feel my way. I'm just going to stick with my pinkies from now on. I was installing bamboo handlebars in a Paul Boxcar stem, and having no experience with either, I thought, "Don't take any chances, use the torque wrench." That torque wrench is now $250 at REI, so it wasn't a cheap one. I must have used my annual membership dividend to buy it, but I was hoping I was getting what I paid for at the time.
